Design

Picture
    This project was a great way to express my thoughts. In this design we had to use different techniques such as pointilism, cross-hatching and shading. This project consists in doing your own designs with the directions that my teches, Ms. López gaved us. You had to draw different figures, some of your own designs and paint them with the different techniques.

    I really love painting. Making my own designs is very fun and interesting when I have instructions. I think pointilism, cross-hatching and shading make your work look much more professional. Even though it is not a professional drawing it makes it look better. I had lots of difficulties by doing the pointilism because it was hard to do it with a thick marker. The figures that were the hardest to do were the circles because I didn´t have a compass and then I had to trace them with a glass. The coolest part was when I drew my own drawings in middle of the figures, like the hearts and the flowers, etc. It was very fun, I really enjoyed doing it.



Half-Portrait Face

Picture
    Drawing faces is not one thing that I can do, I´m really not good at it. First Ms. López took a picture of us, we had to cut it in the half, paste it and draw the other half of it. When I saw it I thought ¨oh, this is going to be too easy´´. We had to use all of our notes of proportion to make it easier.

    I had a lot of trouble with my work. It was interesting how I drew myself and I didn´t how to do it. Im sure I can draw anything besides faces. The most difficult part was start with the face, then I realized different ways to make it easier. The easist part was shade. well, some parts. But in the end it was very interesting to draw myself.

Clay Head

Picture
    This is a clay head. We had to use clay and our face proportion notes to create a clay head. Clay is interesting because you can make it look however you want and paint it however you like. We had to follow our face proportion notes to make it, but it was not easy at all.

    I thought it´ll be much more easier than what it was. The most difficult part was the nose, it was ridiculous how my noses were, it was very funny and it still is. The easiest part was painting it and I really enjoy painting. Even though it´s not a perfect clay head I put all my effort on it and I really enjoyed doing it.
